**** I really liked the book define normal by Julie Anne Peters because it was one of those books that you can just pick up and read and not get sick of. The main idea of the plot is of two girls that go to peer tutoring because their guidance counselor, Dr. DiLeo, suggest to Antonia that it looks good on high school records for college applications. The two girls are pretty much complete opposites. Antonia is a “preppy, get straight A’s” kind of girl, and Jasmine is a rich “punk girl” doesn’t really care about school all too much. Antonia has always wanted to go to a good college so she saves all her money that she has received. She also takes care of her younger brothers because her mom is clinically depressed. On the other hand everyone thinks that Jasmine does drugs and does bad things because that’s who she hangs around but in reality she is against drugs. Jasmine’s mom, Karen, is a psychiatrist that is always trying to give her daughter counseling. And Jazz’s dad is a lawyer who is always in his study, working on cases, or working late at the office. They both want Jasmine to succeed and they don’t like how their daughter expresses herself. Fast paced, Good Book.
**** Antonia and Jazz are two totally different characters. Antonia, contained and ‘invisible’, and Jazz, extrovert and possibly the flashiest person in school are forced to do peer counseling together. At first, everything seems to end in a totally disaster, but suddenly comes a surprising turn. The book “Define ‘Normal’” really gets you into two different worlds, two different perceptions. I didn’t want to put the book down and it really made me think if the problems I think I have are really that important. It also brought me to think about how to judge people because of their look. There is always more than the look of a person! If you have problems to get into the book, keep on reading! It’s worth it!
***Define “Normal” by Julie Anne Peters. This book was very good. I would recommend it to some people if they are into these kinds of books, but it was personally not for me. The story line was well written, and very easy to get into however it was not a complete page turner, like I can’t put it down. To me it felt more like I was reading an autobiography with a little emotion and not a book meant to pull you in and tell you this great story. I would give this a 6 on a scale of 1-10. 10 being the best.
***. I liked the book Define “Normal”. This book is about a girl named Antonia who is the best student at school, and a girl who goes by Jazz, who is the total opposite from Antonia. This is about how Antonia helps Jazz, but also how Jazz helps Antonia. I think that this was a good book. I think that the author used different words to describe different things to give the book more exciting to read. I think that this book was a little boring in the end because exactly what you think is going to happen, happens. After a certain point in the book it is so predictable that you could guess what is going to happen. Despite this fact, I still think that it was a pretty good book and I would recommend people to read it.
Define Normal was the best book that I have read in this unit. It’s about a two completely different girls are supposed to do peer counseling together. In the book you get to learn about Antonia the straight A student and Jazz the punk rebel whose carefree. When they first start the peer counseling they don’t want anything to do with each other. And when it get closer to the end you learn about their lives and how they’re more a like then they think. Read the book and you will see how the book gets really good in the end. I highly suggest this book!
*** The book Define Normal by Julie Anne Peters is a really good book. It’s about how these two girls, Jazz and Antonia who are in peer counseling together and Antonia is counseling Jazz. At the beginning Antonia wants to get out of the counseling because she and Jazz are nothing alike. Jazz is a punk rebel who gets in trouble and Antonia throws herself into family and school. As the counseling goes on the two girls come to find out that they have more in common than they could ever imagine. I greatly recommend this book.
